his game reminds me of Van Exel only he's 1/10th as good and 1/170th as clutch.

Check out Nick "the Quick" Van Exel's 360 three point buzzer beater! He was a true talent. -Aarian

Laker Fans: So i've been a Laker fan since I could remember. I remember my dad stealing ONtv so we could watch Laker games or sneaking over to my brother Fran Duran friends' home to watch the Laker games at their place. I remember chasing down Laker girls with Kevin Michael at the Forum to get our picture with them. Magic Johnson rolling down his window at a stop light after a Laker game in Jim Smith car and saying hello to us. Sneaking into the Forum club and hanging with all the showtime Lakers and movie stars of the time. I was still a fan when it was the Lakers led by Nick Van Exel, Elden Campbell & Vlade Divac!!! I've got tickets today for when they play the Kings. I placed them on sale and no one wanted them. They are a few rows behind the Laker bench! So…i'm going to a Laker game today and I don't really want to go. Help me, why do i feel this way??? Your comments are appreciated, even from the Laker haters.

The 95-96 team that did not have rep had PGs Sedale Threatt and Nick "the Quick" Van Exel.

This happened a year ago, but i just found out about it on a TV show: DALLAS -- A Texas jury sentenced the son of former NBA player Nick Van Exel to 60 years in prison Friday in the shooting death of a longtime friend. Nickey Maxwell Van Exel, 22, received the punishment after his father wept on the witness stand and apologized to the family of the victim, Bradley Bassey Eyo. The same jury in Dallas County in North Texas found the younger Van Exel guilty of murder on Thursday. Prosecutors had sought a capital murder conviction. Nickey Van Exel fatally shot Eyo in December 2010 and dumped his body at Lake Ray Hubbard on the eastern outskirts of Dallas. His attorney had said the two were playing with a shotgun at Nickey Van Exel's Garland home and that Van Exel didn't know the gun was loaded. Nick Van Excel, who played 13 seasons in the NBA including a stint with the Dallas Mavericks and is now a player development instructor for the Atlanta Hawks, testified about the happy times he and his son spent togeth ...

There is definitely some nostalgia to the mediocre Lakers of the 90s... Danny Chau of Grantland: My fondest and earliest basketball memories involve Eddie Jones, Nick Van Exel, and those transitioning Lakers that treaded water, never quite able to make it past the second round. I didn’t know Magic Johnson; his HIV announcement came three days after I was born. I didn’t know of the impossible standard these young guns were trying to live up to. What mattered to me was Van Exel’s left jab–right hook–left hook celebration, and Jones inexplicably leaping from 20 feet away from the basket to execute the most incredible finger roll ever. I didn’t know what the Lakers were moving on from, and the franchise-changing moves that followed were still years away. The Lakers are back at that crossroad, and it has brought back a whole lot of nostalgia. Young has done a good bit of press about how he spent his childhood watching Van Exel and Jones play at the old Great Western Forum. It’s fitting, and signi ...

Watching Memphis / Cincinatti. I used to love going to the pyramid to watch this rivalry! Saw so many great players come through Cincy with Bob Huggins. Nick Van Exel, Kenyon Martin, Kenny Satterfield and Keith Logan, Jason Maxiel etc. Used to be great games and physical. But Memphis pissing me off right now. They've been doing that since the dude from the Heat hit that shot in 2008 (I won't say his name).

I was a Huge Van Exel fan when he was in college, I'll never forget my excitement finding his jersey his rookie year.

I hope they get Obama in the celebrity game. It'd be fire to see Obama get crossed up by Nick Van Exel or somebody.

24 Nov 2013 00:27

Nick Van Exel, Horace Grant, and Dolph Lundgren have shoutouts on this new Action Bronson album.

23 Nov 2013 05:32

This laker team reminds me of the mid 90s lakers. Nick Van ExelEddie Jones pre Kobe and shaq not a title contender but entertaining.

23 Nov 2013 04:24

I've figured out the identity of this Laker team. They're the Van Exel, Ceballos, Eldin Campbell, Eddie Jones/ pre- Shaq/ Kobe team. Kind of fun to watch, border line playoff team and 1st round exit in a hard fought series. I hope we strike lightning in a bottle and find another Kobe/ Shaq. Could be a long few years.

23 Nov 2013 02:54

Yo Nick Van Exel is a assistant for the Bucks now? That’s dope, I used to love his game

Byron Scott was still on that team. Eddie Jones was money back then. Van Exel shooting FT's from the 3 point line smh

08 Jul 2013 23:31

I remember watching Lakers games in the early 90's w/Chick Hearn calling games w/Eddie Jones, Van Exel, Campbell, Vlade & others on the team

28 Jun 2013 04:04

the Bucks made a great hire in Larry Drew, Van Exel is a great assistant on the staff. He was a problem child, and now he has 2 to put in line on the Bucks. I think the 2nd rd. Ledo draft pick was a stroke of GM greatness. So was Tobias. Hammond has a great eye for late round talent, ala T squared.

I'm not nieve or stupid to think or say that the Lakers are a Championship team, other than on paper. But unlike all you haters and fans whom wear reversible jerseys. I've been a fan through Showtime, the the bad years with Divac, Campbell, Threat, Cedric, Van Exel, Perkins and then the Triangle Offense Period.TRUE FAN...save your money and stop buying different team jerseys!

05 Jan 2013 04:27

I've been a Laker since birth, I was a youngster but I grew up watching Showtime, I stayed true during the Dunleavy/Divac Era, and even the 36 games that Magic coached, I cheered for Van Exel, Ceballos, Eddie Jones, Rice, Richmond, Rush and so on! But I seriously am having trouble watch this years team and their soft *** defensive play! Pau is soft like Charmin 2ply!

01 Dec 2012 06:24

Last time two Laker reserves had 20-plus points? April of 1998 - Van Exel w/ 20 and Kobe w/ 25

28 Nov 2012 17:44

Kenny Smith was better than Sam Cassell. He's in the same catagory as Van Exel or Rafer Alston.

08 Nov 2012 06:01

Last time the Lakers went 1-4 in '93-'94 they had the starting 5 of Van Exel, Anthony Peeler, Divac, Christie, and Sam Bowie!! SAM BOWIE!!!

but so could AI, Steph, Rod Strickland, Van Exel and so many others that did virtually nothing

03 Nov 2012 03:08

Chris Paul will be the reason the lake show will not advance to the conference finals, he might make nash tear something, blake will remain on his rockers, and smush parker and "nicky van exel" aint walking thorugh the doors anytime soon..lol

OKC should not have let Harden go. It was a mistake signing Ibaka to that huge contract. James was was inside an out guy, and one of the best herky jerky players ever kinda like Manu & Van Exel. That guy gave Dallas nightmares they could always contain the others, but never Harden he was the their X factor. Time will tell but I can already see it. P.S. Westbrook is a nut case.

02 Nov 2012 05:59

Y'all remember when Jalen Rose, Nick Van Exel and Dikembe Mutombo were on the nuggets!

02 Nov 2012 05:38

Yeah, I'd need few more characters than 140 to name them all. Months later, Van Exel informed me he was now talking to me again.

02 Nov 2012 04:00

don't forget Nick Van Exel who wld shoot college 3s lol or Karl Malone who would take an hour at the stripe

02 Nov 2012 03:43

I used to be the king of that Marbury/ Van Exel part in straight in the middle of my head tho.

02 Nov 2012 03:34

Gained a lot of respect for that dude from the ESPN 30 for 30 on Chris Herren. Him and Van Exel, to be exact.

The ball movement and the offense looked good and seemed to flow at the beginning of the game. In the second half idk what happened. The Mavericks went small and started out hustling us and basically just out played us. We have to get more physical and play with more defense of intensity, cause the defensive effort was terrible. With all that being said Its along season and we still have a lot of basketball ahead of us, with time we will start to gel together. Remember its a marathon not a sprint. So don't get all worked up on the first night of the season, because in the end we will be there. In no way shape or form am i making an excuse for what happened on the court tonight, because we did get out played. It's still all day everyday, been with them since they had Elden Campbell, Eddie Jones, and Nick Van Exel then and I aint going nowhere now.

In San Jose with Steph, Nick the quick Van Exel, Horace Grant, & team And1 waiting to go back State side! Sad to leave a beautiful country that values and respects the environment so much. Te amo Costa Rica!

July fourth is generally not a gift giving holiday but the Lakers and Suns obviously don’t agree as the Suns gift wrapped Steve Nash, the former two-time MVP and sent him to L.A. The Lakers haven’t had a point guard this good (no disrespect to Fish, Shaw, Payton, and Van Exel) since Magic. He still ...

When my favorite player (the Big Aristotle) decide that it was time to make the move to hollywood and win championships (if u didnt know he went cuz Jerry West[the logo] was the GM) and teamed up with Van Exel, Eddie Jones, Cedrick Ceballos, and some high school kid name Kobe. Nobody was mad except a few magic fans be mad a Bron
